I have a bulged disc @ L5-S1 that’s making my legs go numb. Got another shot yesterday guided by floroscopy. No joy. I had a SLAP repair done to my shoulder as well as a torn bicep fix. And now I janked something in my neck making me dizzy AF.

2 10 gauges have stayed in the safe for a number of seasons now. 3.5” 12ga shells have stayed in the ammo box. I did buy an A400 with Kick-off that reduces recoil substantially over my SBE. I shoot a lot more 20ga and 1 oz loads in my O/U’s. As for rifles, I’ll grab one of the 308s or whatever <284 before the 300WM. The hog legs don’t get used much either. I won’t shoot anything that causes pain. It’s just not worth it. I have plenty of other firearms that are a joy to shoot like a 28ga. Really fun and damn challenging on the clay fields.
